The entire installation at the Seasalter Christian Centre was cabled using Van Damme microphone, speaker and data cables, supplied by VDC Trading which also supplied all of the connectors for the project.
The Seasalter Christian Centre is an Anglican church that can accommodate a congregation of up to 350 in its main hall. The new building also includes meeting rooms and kitchen facilities.
Crystal Clear Audio's managing director Nick Fatkin says: "The AV and lighting installations were highly specified in order to meet the demands of the congregation and of external customers who use the hall and meeting rooms during the week. I used Van Damme cables because they are reliable and rugged. This installation demanded that kind of quality."
The Seasalter Christian Centre's audio facilities include Sherman speakers, QSC amplifiers and a 32-channel Soundcraft LX7 Mk2 console. The full playback computer and video facilities include two Hitatchi CPX1250 projectors and two large screens.
"The church installation market is highly specialised and does present some unusual challenges, particularly in terms of acoustics," Nick Fakin adds. "Because this project was a new build we were able to get involved at a very early stage and specify exactly what we needed in terms of cabling. In all, it took five months for us to complete the installation."
